GAS-BURNER FOR GRATE S AND STOVES.

SFECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 402,655, dated May 7, 1889. Application filed May 28, 1888. Seflal No. 275,283. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH A. DAILEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at T0- ledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio,

have invented certain new and useful Im provements in Gas-Burners for Grates and Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an upright burner for grates and stoves, and is designed more particularly for use in the combustion of natural gas as a fuel.

The object of the invention is to provide a burner in which the supply of gas entering the same shall be evenly distributed throughout the entire surface area of an inclined or vertical burner-plate by means of heat-conducting ribs'upon the interior thereof, that by reason of. their conducting the heat with which they are in contact to the gasbefore it escapes to the outer face of the plate combustion is greatly facilitated, and by reason. of coacting heat-conducting ribs upon the exterior surface the heat is caused to "be evenly distributed along the entire, surface of the plate and in parallel relation with the front of the grate or stove, thereby causing not only a more perfect combustion, but a greater radiation of heat than when a flat or horizontal burner is used. I

The invention consists in certain peculiar and novel features of construction and arrangement, as hereinafter described and claimed.

While I may construct my improved burner of any desired shape to fit within a grate, stove, or furnace, I have shown but twoforms in the drawings, one of which (that shown in Fig. 1) is illustrated as applied to a grate, and in this form is also shown in sectional elevation in Fig. 3 and in perspective in Fig. 6, and is in the, form of a right-angle triangle with the hypotenuse as the burner plate, while in Figs. 4 and 5 the burner is shown of pyramidal form with the apex truncated. In

. spective, of a preferred form of burner.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of a stove provided with duplex burners. Fig. 3 is a vertical section, and Fig. 6 is a per- Fig. 4 is a sectional plan view Of an octagonal burner on lines 00 m, Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same on lines y, Fig. 4.

A designates the combustion-chamber of a grate or stove; B, the burner, comprising an inclosed chamber, 0, having a perforation, D,.

at the base for the insertion of the servicepipe E, leading from the main supply-pipe.

F designates the perforated burner-plate, which may be the front plate, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 6, or may entirely surround the burner, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. This plate is formed with heat-conducting ribs G upon the outer and inner sides and with a perforation, H, beneath each rib G, the heatdeflecting conducting-ribs being formed in horizontally-disposed rows upon the plate ris- 'ing from the base to the top of the same.

I designates a horizontal plate within the burner, preferably sustained in proper position by legs 1, formed integral, and which rest upon the bottom of the burner.

In operation gas is admittedto the interior of the burner through pipe E, and, striking against the under side of plate I, which is formed solid, as shown, is deflected toward the burner-plate, and, striking ribs G upon the inner side of the plate, is not only held in check momentarily and thoroughly heated before being led to the flame upon the outer side, thereby increasing the inflammability of the gas, but is evenly distributed throughout the surface area of the plate in passing from one heat-conducting. rib to another. The gas finds an exit to the front of the burner-plate through perforations II, and. the flame is evenly spread throughout the surface of the plate by the ribs'upon the outer side thereof, thereby producing a flame extending throughout the entire length and height of the plate,

and by the even distribution of the gas, and by reason of the heat being conducted to the same prior to its escape, causing a perfect combustion of the same.

In ordinary use in cooking-stoves one burner is sufficient to supply the desired amount of heat; but where a greater amount is needed two burners may be employed, as shown in Fig. 2, in which two burners are placed within the combustion-chamber with the burner-plates at opposite sides, and the gas supplied by either a single pipe, as shown in dotted lines, or by two independent pipes, as shown in full lines.

In the construction shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the burner-plate extends entirely around the burner, causing the flame to completely envelop the same.

- It will be seen that the outer series of heatconducting ribs not only serve to spread the flame, but serve to protect the perforations from being closed by any extraneous matter that may fall upon the front of the plate.

\Vhat I claim is- 1. An improved gas-burner for stoves, &c.,

consisting of a shell having one or more of its walls formed with perforations disposed in rows, substantially as described, and provided with heat-conducting ribs located one above each opening and projecting from both the inner and outer sides of the wall, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a burner for gas-stoves, &c., a shell having an inlet in its base and having one or more of its walls formed with perforations disposed in rows, substantially as specified, and provided also with heat-conducting ribs located one above each opening and projecting from both the inner and outer sides of the Wall, in combination with a solid deflectingplate located Within the shell above said inlet-opening, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I hereby affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH A. DAILEY.
